To oversimplify it, Somerset has to get better line play this time than they did the first game with LCA.

The downside to the new system is that you get a game like this in the 2nd round, but in the old system it would've only been one more week so no harm there. The upside is that you'll get the two best teams in the state playing for the state title, be it LCA, Somerset, Mayfield or whoever else gets there. If they make it to the title game in the new system, then they're good enough to be there. In the old system, you'd have had LCA, Mayfield, and Somerset on the same side of the bracket. Again, there are issues with the new playoff system. These two teams playing in round 2 instead of round 3 is not one of them. 2A should be considered a win for the new system no matter how it plays out.
